Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth posthumous title
"Lin Renzhao finally died—"
The report from Hongzhou was very timely, and the Sound Shooting Department also acted quickly. In less than a day, Li Jia knew the specific situation in Hongzhou.
Only then did news come from Qianzhou that Lin Renzhao took the ship away and disappeared. Chen Bing and Huang Yang submitted memorials to apologize.
Li Jia glanced at it and felt a little moved.
At this time of the beginning of the Song Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, there were few generals in the south compared to the north, and due to the continuous wars in the north, the stars were shining brightly.
Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, Shi Shouxin, Hu Yanzan, Pan Mei, Yang Ye, Li Jixun, Gao Huaide, Guo Jin, etc., were all heroes of the time, famous generals in the north, and even veteran Murong Yanzhao defeated Jiangling, even the strongest.
Not to mention, Wang Quanbin, who seized Chengdu and forced Meng Chang to hunt in the east, was the successor, Cao Bin and others, who were also a generation of talents, which was simply too jealous.
The inheritance left by Guo Rong is still too rich.
In the south, Pan Chongche of the Southern Han Dynasty, Yang Shifan of the Zhou Chu, and Lin Renzhao of the Southern Tang Dynasty, these three were quite famous, but the first two were lonely and nameless after returning to the Song Dynasty, while the latter had the reputation of the Southern Tang Zhuguo.
Regarding Lin Renzhao, Li Jia was eager to get him, but he knew that this person was a stubborn person and had a great reputation, so he would definitely not surrender. It was a pity.
"Lin Renzhao is self-reliant and dedicated to the public, devotes himself to the public, is a minister, is loyal to the king, is a general, and is a hero of the country!"
Li Jia sighed a few words, and naturally the activities in her heart were not known to others, but the regret in her tone made the ministers look at her. Everyone felt that His Majesty was so despised.
"A such a general must be famous after his death, and he must not be without a posthumous title!"
Li Jia said in a deep voice.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Wang Ning echoed. Although he was moved by Lin Renzhao's death, he was quite happy. As soon as Lin Renzhao died, more than a dozen states in Jiangxi must have issued an edict to destroy the country in Jiangnan.
Who is planning day and night? Apart from the emperor, it is him. It can be said that the Military Affairs Office has already won a great reputation in coordinating the war. It is time for him to make progress.
"Lin Renzhao is loyal to his troops and loyal to his troops. He dies in war. He is a role model for warriors. In this chaotic era, there are many unfaithful ministers. Such a loyal man must be praised for his loyalty. Secondly, he can also win the hearts of the soldiers and the people in Jiangxi!"
Wang Ning's opinion is that the dead Lin Renzhao has a greater effect and is more likable.
Touching his beard, he said in a deep voice: "The posthumous title is a person who praises and criticizes the people of the time. Lin Renzhao and the martial artist should take martial arts first and find another place. It can be said that Su. Just as Deke became Su, he decided to be Su."
"Not appropriate!" Li Jia shook her head and sighed: "It's still not enough. You should be loyal, and you should be loyal."
As the pillar of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Lin Renzhao was not capable of doing so, but he still needed great praise to sacrifice his life for the country.
The posthumous title was when the emperor, princes and ministers died. The court gave an appraisal title to commend it based on their deeds and moral character. According to the records in "Yi Zhou Shu·Legendary Law Interpretation": "Only, Zhou Gong Dan Taigong wanted to open his successor to the king's career and made great contributions in Muye. He was finally buried, so he made a posthumous title and then described the posthumous law. The posthumous title is the trace of his performance; the title is the expression of merit; in ancient times, those who had great achievements, they were given good titles as titles."
From this we can see that the posthumous title should have been formed since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It's ridiculous. In this chaotic world, due to the collapse of rituals and music, the martial artists only know how to kill enemies and plunder money. In fact, they don't care about posthumous titles, and they are even dispensable.
After all, everyone is dead, and who still cares about the life behind him? It is the most important thing to survive.
Therefore, not only did the military man care about his posthumous title, but even the imperial court generally did not care about it. In addition, since the Tang Dynasty, the rules of posthumous titles have been unclear, including three characters, four characters, and all kinds of messes.
The posthumous title of a martial artist can be used as a literary person, and the literati can also be used as a martial artist. For example, Zhuge Liang, Zhongwu, and Guo Ziyi are martial artists and Zhongwu.
Of course, it was mainly because the emperors of the Tang Dynasty ruined their posthumous titles.
Before the Tang Dynasty, there were basically few posthumous names. For example, Liu Bang, the Taizu of Han, had his posthumous title "Gao", and Emperor Wen of Sui, had his posthumous title "Wen".
Have you ever known that Emperor Taizong of Tang was commonly known as Emperor Wen of Tang at that time?
Wu Zetian advised Emperor Gaozong of Tang, believing that the posthumous title of the late emperor "Emperor Wen" was not enough to express his greatness, nor could it reflect his filial piety. As a result, Emperor Gaozong of Tang adopted it and gave his father a posthumous title of "Emperor Wenwu" in the first year of Shangyuan (674). This posthumous title should be the beginning of the collapse of the posthumous title of emperor in ancient China.
Because according to normal traditions, Li Shimin should be called "Emperor Wen of Tang" by later generations. After adding posthumous title, it was convenient to call the temple name "Tang Taizong".
Wu Zetian opened a Pandora's box, and later generations followed her and added her posthumous title to a very long one.
For example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the grandson of Wu Zetian, promoted his grandmother's posthumous title: he added the posthumous title of Emperor Gaozu of Tang to "Shenyao Great Sage Da Guangxiao Emperor" and the posthumous title of Emperor Taizong of Tang to "Human Da Guangxiao Emperor" and the posthumous title of Emperor Gaozu of Tang to "Human Da Guangxiao Emperor" and so on.
Posthumous titles were no longer valuable, so naturally no one paid attention to them, and all officials were also very despised. In the Song Dynasty, literary talents began to pay attention to posthumous titles, with two-character rules and the distinction between civil and military personnel.
Even without the need for the imperial court to promulgate, the people have private posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles to satisfy people's vanity. Not everyone can be a high-ranking official and be given posthumous titles by the emperor and court.
It's a long way to go...
Can't control yourself...
"It is not enough to give a posthumous title just--"
Li Jia shook her head. It is not too much solemn for a dead person. After all, a person cannot be resurrected, and a person pays attention to his reputation behind him. It can be said that this is a favorable task.
The ministers were surprised to give the posthumous title. After all, they were surrendered generals. Now, it is not enough, so what else should I do? Many officials have no posthumous titles!
"Lin Renzhao is really similar to Li Mu of the Warring States Period. He is both loyal ministers and specially appointed him as Marquis of Wu'an."
From then on, people called Lin Renzhao and Wu Zhonghou, which was a bit of a twist.
"Your Majesty, is this a little too kind?" Someone raised an objection, with envy and jealousy on his face. It was so annoying that the general of the country who destroyed his country was doing so well after his death.
"No, it's just right!" As the prime minister, Mr. Cui Quan's overall view is still very good. He sighed: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, I can't wait!"
Others can only give in.
"By the way, do you have a good reputation as the Duke of Li Yu?" Li Jia asked directly because she was too lazy to use her brain.
"I think I can give him the title of Anle Gong!" said the second prime minister Zhao Cheng with a smile.
All the scholars here are scholars, and there is no one who knows the allusions. They burst into laughter in an instant, and the scene becomes enthusiastic in an instant.
